Samsung D75 digital camera. Having taken a clip in movie mode, I have a 'standby' message on the LCD screen. Can't seem to get rid of it to take another clip. When I press shutter button I just get a bleep and message remains.

Problem resolved. My own stupid operating fault. It appears that, in movie mode, you don't just press the shutter button to start a shot, you have to hold it down for a moment. Not made clear in user manual, but I should have twigged earlier.
Thanks for your contact/help.

If the line is only on the display and not also on the photos when you download them to the pc, then you only need to have the LCD display replaced. The screen should cost like ~$20 as you can see here: http://www.aliexpress.com/product-fm/307874294-Replacement-Camera-LCD-Screen-display-for-Samsung-Digimax-S630-S730-S750-D75-NEW-Free-Shipping-wholesalers.html

Most of the manuals for Samsung cameras are available online. You could locate them either by going directly to the manufacturer's website and then on to the Support section or by performing a search on Google. The Google search I performed was for "Samsung D75 operation manual" and the first result already provided me the manual: SAMSUNG D75 Operations Manual. Simply click on "Get Manual".
